NOTE. 

The  following  list  of  Micmac  names  of  places,  rivers,  etc., 
in  Nova  Hcotia  and  neighborhood  was  compiled,  at  my 
request,  by  Miss  Elizabeth  Frame,  of  Shubenacadie,  for  the 
library  of  the  Massachusetts  Historical  Society,  and  was 
duly  presented  at  the  meeting  on  June  9,  1892.  She  was 
aided  in  her  labors  by  a  Micmac  Indian,  as  well  as  by  the 
published  works  of  Mr.  Gesner  and  Dr.  Rand.  It  is  now 
printed  at  the  expense  of  a  gentleman  of  Cambridge,  who 
is  interested  in  Indian  philology. 

S.  A.  G. 
Boston,  August  20,  1«92. 


TiiK  Mi(Mua(!  It'ft  no  sculptured  gods, 

No  temples  iiiadti  of  stone; 
In  misty  caves,  in  storm-tossed  clouds, 

^lanitou  dwelt  alone. 

But  names  remain  on  hill  and  plain 

Of  this  ()n(!e  powerful  race, 
And  in  those  lifpiid  Micmao  words 

Their  presence  yet  we  trace 

Where  Asjiatogon  lifts  her  brow, 

Unblushing,  to  the  sea; 
Where  crashing  ice-cakes  dash  and  break 

On  lonely  Stiatarie ; 

Where  turbid  waters  seethe  and  foam 
liound  Glooscap,  Chebooktook  ; 

On  Tusket's   Isles   .vhere  sea-gulls  rest, 
And  heron  on  I'anuke ; 

The  rusliing  tides  in  l^esitjuid, 

And  Sliubonacadie ; 
The  level  meads  of  Tantramar; 

The  falls  of  Konomee. 

No  Micmac  now  on  Cobequid 

Hunts  moose  or  caribou; 
And  alien  races  change  the  names 

Which  first  were  named  by  you. 

E.  F. 


SOUND   OF   LETTERS   IN   MICMAC. 


TiiK  consonants  are  sounded  as  in  English:  g  i.--  Iways  hard, 
as  in  yn,  ,'</,!,  and  o  exactly  like;  k ;  ch  as  in  ohiir, ..  ;  h  follow- 
ing a  vowel  in  the  same  syllable  (as  in  ahk)  is  a  soft  guttural, 
like  the  German  rh  in  Ich.  Tliere  is  no ./'  in  Micmac ;  when  at- 
tempting to  pronounce  Frencdi  or  English  words  which  contain 
this  letter,  the  Indians  give  it  the  sound  of  />  or  />. 

The  vowels  are  sounded  thus:  a,  as  '\\\  fatlu-i- ;  S,  as  m  fute; 
a,  as  in  fitf;  a,  as  the  second  a  in  nhaff;  e,  as  in  me;  6  as  in 
imtt;  ei,  as  i  in  phu;;  I,  as  i  in  inu;  o,  as  in  no;  6  as  in  nof;  u,  as 
in  fiiite,  use;  tt,  as  in  tub;  oo,  as  in  fool,  wore;  66  as  in  7^)0//, 
wood;  ow,  as  in  mm.  When  any  vowel  is  doubled,  as  aa,  aa,  ee, 
o,  the  usual  sound  is  prolonged,  and  takes  the  accent,  but  the 
place  for  the  accent  is  the  peimlt.  'M  or  'N  at  the  beginning  of 
a  word  with  the  accent  marked,  is  sounded  without  a  vowel. 

The  following  are  examples  of  the  peculiarity  termed  "holo- 
phrastic,"  where  a  single  word  stands  for  a  sentence:  — 

Boon,  the  sitting  place,   the   cross-piece  on    which   the   pad- 
dler  sits. 

Bodseugch,  let  us  take  a  trip  by  water,  let  us  go  in  a  canoe. 

ijpkwdse,  I  have  a  shelter  from  the  rain  over  my  head. 

Kamatk,  bushes  yonder,  beyond  a  cleared  place. 

Ngspe,    to  be  sto])ping  in  the  wigwam   to   take  care    of   it, 
while  the  others  are  away. 

New6pskitk,   the  bed  of  the  river  is  dry,  and  the  rocks  are 
bare. 

W6pk,  the  morning  light,  —  "  the  opening  of  the  eye  of  the 
morning."
